Retreat options – come for a day or a weekend!

Come for a day…

Guests arrive at 10 am, in time for coffee and cake or maybe tea and scones, rocky road, homemade biscuits, but always something delicious on offer. Plenty of refreshments are available during the day.

Crochet the day away in good company, enjoying getting on with your project with no interruptions.

Break for a delicious homemade lunch, cooked by David and served for you in the conservatory.

Browse the teeny tiny wool shop, well stocked with Stylecraft Special dk, Stylecraft Batik and Classique cotton in a glorious range of colours and be inspired for your next project. link

4.30 comes around all too quickly and time to say good bye to new friends, till the next time.

Make it a proper break and stay over:

What could be better than a full crochet day retreat? Two of course! Why not come for a weekend?

Middle Stobswood Farm is an established B&B with lots of good reviews. A hearty breakfast is served choices from full English to simply yogurt and fresh fruit as requested. Special dietary requirements catered for.

One twin and four double bedrooms are available, all comfortably appointed with en-suite facilities.

There is a ground floor room for those who need more accessibility and the house is approached via a short ramp so that there are no stairs to negotiate.

Plenty of easy parking outside the door.

Other ideas we can help with:

Bring your friends for a relaxing day together. We will try to fit in with the dates you choose. Minimum six guests. Or book a private residential retreat, minimum four guests.

Bring your boots and take a refreshing walk in the countryside directly from the farm or hop in the car to visit our breathtaking coastline only a few minutes away.

Meet Gillian

Hello my name is Gillian and thank you for visiting me at Escape to the Crochet here in beautiful Northumberland.

David and I run our cosy little B&B here on our smallholding and especially love to welcome guests to our crochet day retreats and short breaks where it’s all about colourful crochet, homemade cakes and good home cooking.

Crochet gives me an escape that I love and I hope to share the joy with you, along with some of my other favourite escapes.
